Bug#536420: debian-installer: MAC address chang

reassign 536420 netcfg
retitle 536420 Please allow chaging the network card MAC address
thanks

 Hi,
 is it possible to add Change MAC address item into network
 installation menu? Some internet providers accept only some MAC address
 of your network card and if you buy new computer, it cannot work well. 


It may be possible (as an expert option, I guess)if someone works
on the relevant patch...:)

The current Lenny kernel is known to be broken, although we've seen the 
problem happen slightly later than this.

Please see the following links for additional information:
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-s390/2009/07/msg2.html
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-s390/2009/07/msg3.html
- http://bugs.debian.org/536354

Your problem may possibly be different, but I don't think it's worth 
investigating until that issue has been solved.

Cheers,
FJP

Re: [D-I] Please test Debian Installer with console-setup (3rd version)

2009-07-10 Thread Christian Perrier
Quoting Anton Zinoviev (an...@lml.bas.bg):

  I have not seen any single Georgian keyboard in my entire computing
  life in France.
 
 Actually fr(geo) is not for Georgian keyboards.  It is for typing 
 Georgian on a French keyboard.

My point There is no such physical keyboard. Apparently, from what
you mention, various keyboard layouts are added, more or less
randomly, because someone once worked on one. This is about the same
crazyness we had with console layouts in the good old days, where
everybody was inventing his|her own layout (fr-latin1, fr-latin9,
fr-latin0).

If upstream xkb has such policy, I'm afraid it is entirely entering a
neverending nightmare of piling up layouts and variants for each
and every crazy ideas in the world.

Anyway, this is getting off-topic. I'm not in position to change XKB
policy, nor do I want it. 

Here, I'm interested in the consequences we have in D-I

   layouts, but with time this filtering will become so distant from what 
   the upstream is providing us that it will become a nightmare to support 
   it.
  
  I see absolutely no reason for this. I'm proposing to just make that
  choice each time a language is added to D-I. We're doing this for
  years (actually since D-I exists).
 
 Console-data was maintained by you, i.e. by a member of d-i team. My 
 concern is that Xkeyboard-config changes more rapidly than console-data.

As said, the point is not changing xkeyboard-config. The point is in
still keeping the idea of the same keyboard management system in D-I
and, later, at the system's console, than the one in Xwhile
keeping this manageable and scalable for D-I.

 BTW, it seems to me that there is no other file in XKB with such a 
 diversity of variants as the French file. :) I don't know whether all 

The German one is also quite interestingwhich is not a surprise:
we find there the very same mess we have in console keymaps, inherited
from the days where people where thinking it is good to invent their
own keyboard layout and publish it everywhere because it was working
on their own kitchen sink...:-)

BTW, this is what I personnally think about those crazy Dvorak keymaps
but don't tell this to the Dvorak and Bépo keymaps addicts..:-)

 these variants are realy used or not, but if they are not, one method to 
 deal with this mess is to mark some of the variants in the file with the 
 keyword hidden.  In this way these variants will be still supported 
 but the configuration programs will not present them to the users.  If 
 there is agreement between the French users, the upstream can be 
 convinced to make the changes.

I'm not sure that belongs to upstream, again. We should refocus on our
point, here: D-I. I'm not interested in changing things upstream, or
even changing the way you deal with them in the standard console-setup
package. You're certainly handling things the right way. 

The point is the udeb. I'm currently convinced and still need to be
unconvinced that we have to shrink the number of proposed layouts to a
list with only 1 or 2 layouts per language, plus some country-specific
cases (e.g. the Brazilian layouts). That means having a specific way
to ask for layouts *in a single question* mor eor less combining the
layout/variant (and maybe model) questions. This only in D-I. Probably
with a specific console-setup-udeb.postinst script instead of using
the big cs-.postinst and c-s.config scripts.

I see this as the only way to preserve one key feature of D-I: keeping
things simple for users and minimizing the number of asked questions.
And, also, preserve the rationale where size matters.

 I see this as the only way to preserve one key feature of D-I: keeping

 And, also, preserve the rationale where size matters.

Only one question provided the US QWERTY layout is added to the list of

Yes, there are problems in the current state of xkeyboard-config but I

There is something weird in this image (not related to c-s).

Please compare the two images below:

- http://people.debian.org/~fjp/tmp/d-i/multiselect_bubulle.png

In Christan's image the cursor (current line indicator) is wrong.

The images were built the same day.

I checked the dpkg status files in the image, but they show no relevant 
differences. It still could be libs that get reduced and thus don't have 
a udeb, but I checked the most likely candidates and did not see any 
recent uploads.

Suggest people watch out for this as it could still be a regression

Bug#530784: partman-crypto: preseeding of the dm-crypt passphrase failed

2009-07-10 Thread Gabriel
Hello,
sorry i think my last email missed the bug report (i got an error
'140.211.166.43_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_550_unknown_user/Giving_up_on_140.211.166.43./')

I choose the way of comment this, because i think it's a best way
to do the documentation. It's also possible do delete this four
lines. But may be later on somebody think this in insecure and
but the lines back again ...

The example preseed file i missed (i used one from the internet).
But you're right there should be an example in it and a discription
how to handle this.

The 'problem' with this way of preseeding is, if you want to use
two seperate crypted partitions you cannot use two different passphrases.
Here an example with one crypted partition (the way we do it):

/dev/sda1 - boot
/dev/sda2 - crypted
  /dev/mapper/crypted - lvm_volume_group
/dev/mapper/lvm_volume_group - logical_volume
  /dev/mapper/logical_volume - root
  /dev/mapper/logical_volume - swap

Here an example with two crypted partition (did not work with
two seperate passphrases):

/dev/sda1 - boot
/dev/sda2 - crypted_1
/dev/sda2 - crypted_2
  /dev/mapper/crypted_1 - root
  /dev/mapper/crypted_2 - swap

With the second way it is not possible to use two diffrent
passphrases during installation. The 'value' is set the first
time and is not deleted before the second question.
Also you cannot delete the values _after_ setting up the first
crypted partition. Because then the preseeding didn't work for
the second crypted partition.
It would only be possible to do that by changing the hole
blockdev_keygen to include the partition name in the 'templ'
value. But i don't know whether the partition name is known
at this time in the blockdev_keygen script.

Respectfully

Gabriel

On Friday 10 July 2009, Gabriel wrote:

Why do you say cannot? Wouldn't both partitions just get the same 
passphrase with your changes? I don't think that is desirable at all, but 
I think that is what would happen.
OTOH, I'm not sure that you can even specify a recipe with two encrypted 
partitions...

But this is a very important comment, not only for preseeding. Your patch 
will make partman crypto behave quite differently from its current 
behavior when multiple partitions/devices are encrypted interactively.
In that case the fields really should be reset before the questions are 
asked a second time.

I also still think that the emptying of the passwords is done as a 
security measure.

One option could be to instead reset the template (value and seen flag) 
*after* the question has been asked and the value has been used. That 
would still allow to preseed for a single encrypted partition, but would 

They should also be reset on error, so that you don't end in an endless 
loop.

All and all, IMO this change is fine as an ad-hoc change if you really 
want to preseed a single encrypted partition, but I don't think it is 
suitable for inclusion in the package in its current form. I would also 
prefer to see comments from the original authors of partman-crypto before 
this patch is committed.

Cheers,
FJP

I have to mention that my build environment is not necessarily
guaranteed as clean. I don't use my own machine anymore to build
packages (I only use pbuilder/cowbuilder on my home server, most of
the time) and it's quite some time since I built test images for some
D-I features. 

In that specific case, it of course doesn't matter that much but what

I think this is the absolute wrong way to go, fwiw.  Making things
significantly different in the installer means more maintenance
overhead, instead of improving things for everyone and sharing the
maintenance burden, if this was happening upstream.  The way to present
this information in c-s can be improved, some xk-c strings might need to
be changed to make them easier to understand, some variants might need
to be hidden because they're mostly unused, etc, and sure, that's a lot
of work, but there's no reason this should be specific to d-i IMO.

There seem to be some misunderstanding here.

I don't necessarily want to make things different. The point is trying
to keep the use of c-s by D-I sustainable, particulrly in terms of
size and memory impact.

The very big number of variants brings in a lot of stringsand,
potentially, a lot of translated material. That will mathematically
make the size impact of D-I grow up exponentially over time.

That is a concern. Of course, efforts were made to minimize this and
this is really welcomed, for sure. But I still need to be convinced
that this will be enough.

Again, my proposal is not necessarily changing the way c-s
worksbut finding a way to have it present much much less variants
to users so that it's less confusing for them (usability reason) and has less
size impact on D-I (technical reason).

I am not specifically favouring a given option, here. I imagined a way
to do this (that involves manual maintenance, which I thinks is
sutainable) but that may not be the only option. Anyway, I haven't
proposed any implementation and I don't know if I'll be able to do
so..:). Moreover, I haven't described very precisely what I imagine.

In short, we're basically shaking ideas here...
